Pity

This movie is completely understandable. Pretty much the way it used to be.
Just feel sorry for them.
Because a psychologist said, a love really begins when it ends.
Because they are different, they are separated. Because of the difference, it is possible to truly understand each other. And this is the foundation of love.
In fact, april never really cared about frank's career and his heart, and frank was similar. On the last morning, I listened to him seriously for the first time. If we could understand and care for each other calmly earlier, why would there be so many quarrels? This is one of regrets.
The one who is really restless, dissatisfied, and eager for passion is April, not FRank. Frank has been rubbed off by life. In fact, he is more eager for stability. It was April who wanted to go to Paris, not Frank, but April didn't know that. She was trapped by her inner passion and frank's limitations. She pinned her life's hope on frank, but she also pinned the decision to change her life on frank's decision, not her own responsibility.
Maybe she finally made her own choice, which sadly didn't happen. This is the second regret.
Double regret, sigh. I just remember frank's helpless run in the dawn. Where are you going?

    Regardless of Yates's original book or this film, the tragedy that "Revolutionary Road" wants to explore is not why the marriage broke down, but what the 'life' that has always appeared in people's mouths has defeated the ideal. Marriages can end for a hundred reasons, but they are all an outlet for a deeper failure—the demise of ideals. There is always only one reason for the shattering of ideals, that is, when a person realizes that his ambitions are ignorant, he begins to become cowardly before changing; and 'life' is all the valid excuses for this person to refuse to change at this time. At the end of the film, the three men, Little Plum, David Harbour and Richard Easton (young, middle-aged and old), stare blankly at the camera and ponder over the sudden intrusion of idealists in their long quiet lives. confused. Before long, they will recall that the tragically dead interloper was none other than himself before he became a coward. Only then did they realize that they were willing to give up everything they had, just to have the opportunity to devote themselves to their ideals again, but they could only helplessly sink deeper and deeper into the increasingly complicated and delicate 'life'.

    Very bad. Personally, I like the original book very much, but the way the director directs the actors is to let them quarrel endlessly, or endlessly put out those golden sentences in the original work. Xiao Li's roaring way of performing makes such a mourning book look like wax. It would be great if Yang Dechang was filmed. . Paris is not a panacea, just a short-lived hope, an illusion that makes you think everything can start all over again.

Revolutionary Road quotes

  • Bart Pollock: Frank, let me tell you something my father told me. A man gets only a couple of chances in life. If he doesn't grab'em by the balls, it won't take long for he's sitting around wondering why he got to be second rate.

    Frank Wheeler: Night cashier at a cafeteria.
